Next page will be up before the end of the week! I am going on a trip to Texas, gonna get on a plane and everything. I’ve never been to Texas before, I am sort of scared tbh, but supposedly Austin is good people? I guess I’ll find out! Anyways I’ll be offline for the weekend starting Friday afternoon, so I am obligated to finish and post the next page before then :U I got some writing done this weekend though so at least that is out of the way.

A pimp for you, before you go! Power Nap is my new favorite thing. Fun, silly sci-fi writing and expressive art that I can’t get enough of. I know I pimped this on Tumblr already several times but I don’t even care. Also we appear to be cross-pimping, which is pretty neat as well.

Hacking through undergrowth will do that to you. Plus, I imagine he’s had to cut down on his drinking — if he even has any hooch left. Staying sober can *really* turn on the crank, even without manual labor added in. Together, they create a Crankosaurus Pintegripus.

We’re pretty chilly right now, though, so I hope you brought warm clothing and something to keep the constant drizzle off you. Too bad you didn’t come down a few weeks back when we were still in the grips of our Forever-Summer.

Oh, and Alamo Draft House. You need it when you’re here. Movie theatre + incredible food + booze. And may I suggest El Arroyo on west 5th street? Best tex-mex in the whole damn city. <3

Austin is a pretty neat place (or at least it was when I lived there), but it’s very, very dry right now, so don’t think it’s like that all of the time! I was there a few weeks ago, and it was almost surreal how dry everything was. Other than that, I have a lot of good friends from Austin, and there tend to be nice people there :) Have fun visiting!

I’ve read the entire comic so far, and I’m absolutely loving the entire thing. You’re doing a fantastic job, and I love reading every single panel you’ve created so far.

Thank you for taking the time to draw all of this, and to allow us to read/view such amazing work. o c o

Also, Texas is a very nice place. It’s not full of as many rednecks as you think it is. (I grew up in Texas, so I’d know!) Don’t be too surprised when everything is dead… It’s been so dry so nothing is really alive anymore. Be prepared for bipolar weather conditions too. I once had a winter day go from 56 degrees to below freezing in less than 8 hours!

Haha, thanks XD Yeah, I remember it snowed there last year or something? crazy. I’m trying not to but I can’t help always envisioning Texas as a flat desert full of saguaro like out of a roadrunner cartoon.

That’s only out in the West area, silly :P
But then, it pretty much is near that in more central Texas… I remember I took vacation up to Vermont and the first thing a I thought was
“Grass is… GREEN?!”
Hadn’t seen that since April or May, lol.

I also am from Texas (born in Austin, raised in San Antonio) and you have nothing to fear – we are very nice people. We’re also pretty normal. Make sure to eat some Tex-Mex food while you’re there. I mean, if you like cheese and happiness.

Don’t be scared! Texas is not (always) the frothingly psychotic place you hear about in news stories. There’s lots of places like my old small-town high school where they cheerfully taught evolution and the homecoming king senior year was flamboyantly gay. And Austin is super laid back, you can be yourself and no one will give you any trouble.

I live in Austin! Okay, just a warning, it’s kind of ugly in the winter because of the trees but usually it’s super green and lush.
BUT seriously, I love that city. How long are you going to be there? Because there are a lot of restaurants I can recommend. You should also try some “texas” food like breakfast tacos, queso, and migas.
What are you doing in Austin?

i came to find this excellent comic yesterday via Power Nap, read the whole thing, Love It. I look forward to a printed edition, and hope that you can see through to finishing this story in a timely fashion, hobbies can be such a bear on the back of time, because i have a 1 year old spitfire of a daughter I will be purchasing the printed version for as soon as it’s available!

Wow… I haven’t checked up on Meek for several months, Power Nap linked me here, and it turns out there was less than a page per month posted… See you back in a year or so, maybe I will have something like 10 new pages to read.

You gotta eat at Freebirds World Burrito. And Threadgill’s. If you’re feeling ambitious, you could get some friends to drive you out to the Salt Lick. The BBQ there is somewhat overrated, but the never-ending family-style dining is an experience you won’t soon forget. I could put you in touch with Rick Klaw if you’re curious about the Austin comics scene…

Wow! I know someone mentioned this before but you’ve REALLY improved since chapter one. I don’t even have to look back, it’s that significant of an up. The expressions, the angles, the colors… Really great. So amazing how you just keep on getting better and better like this.

And Texas is awesome too! And you have to try the BBQ in Austin. Greatest. BBQ. EVER. (I would suggest Franklin’s BBQ, but you have to get there before 9 if you don’t want to wait in line for over an hour, but the ribs are just amazing lD ) Just don’t come to Dallas. All the drivers are jerks.

Texas is one of the friendliest states ever! Just as long as you stay out of Dallas. Dallas is rude. But the South and Central areas are nice. I live in San Antonio, which is about an hour or two away from Austin. Enjoy your visit!
Oh yes, and the last panel with Angora is so beautiful! @_@ Actually, the whole page is, so if it was a bitch, it doesn’t show.

Why are you so good at this? WHHHYYY?! I’m so jealous. ;_; I love the expressions in the first two panels, and that last panel! *drools* The lighting is amazing. I’m so jealous of your hands and feet too. I’m the worst at drawing hands and feet. WAAAA.

Just comparing this page with the Pinter and Angora from chapter 1 is…well, it seems like you’ve really fleshed them out in terms of detail since then. Benefit of larger pages, artistic improvement in the intervening years, or a combination of the two? Regardless of why, it’s an impressive step up from what was already quite appealing artwork.

Hm…actually looking at them longer, the atmosphere probably contributes quite a bit to that as well. Shifting from bright sunny greens and yellows to this very subdued wet blue scheme offers a different variety of shading and contrast – thus all the comments on Angora’s eyes in the last panel, for instance, when they haven’t really changed much from the first chapter. They just look more striking when they’re surrounded by more somber tones; when everything around her was also green/gold her green/gold eyes just sorta blended in. Interesting the way changing one aspect of a piece can make everything else fit together differently.
